Why this helps

New device records are easy to overlook when someone must transfer hardware details into DNSFilter manually.

  • Register a MAC address from a request.
  • Associate the entry with the specified organization.
  • Reduce manual device onboarding steps.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect AnyDB and DNSFilter once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, for device registration.
  • 3Tell Notis to create the MAC address entry from supplied device and organization details, and skip incomplete requests.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and the run report destination.
  • 5Test with one authorized device registration request.
